EXTERNAL HOIST

The Breeze Eastern externally mounted 600 lbs. rated 28 VDC electrically driven hoist incorporates all of the safety, self-sensing and redundancy features, as well as the cable management system present in all other Breeze Eastern category one hoist designs. These features enhance operational safety and unit reliability and extend the service life of the hoist assembly. The hoist is normally operated by a crew-person through a variable speed control in a hand-held control pendant assembly or control box. A second set of controls for the hoist is located on the helicopter cyclic stick. These controls are operated by the pilot and have priority over the crew-person controls.
